In Reforming New Orleans, Peter F. Burns and Matthew O. Thomas open for full view what many paid very little attention to before August 2005: New Orleans has long been a poor, dangerous, racially divided, and struggling city. Burns and Thomas provide a rich description of policy implementation in New Orleans before and after the storm and of what happened to education, public housing, and public safety after Katrina. This book breaks new ground. -Marion Orr, Frederick Lippitt Professor of Public Policy and Professor of Political Science and Urban Studies, Brown University, author of Black Social Capital: The Politics of School Reform in Baltimore, 1986-1999
